Different Emotions

I smile,
I frown
I look up and then down.
I squint,
I wiggle,
I grab a paper and squiggle.
I laugh,
I cry,
I devour a pie.
I whisper,
I scream,
I squeal at a limousine.
I TYPE!

My Pistacios

My pistachios are very good,
I happen to like them a lot.
They’re green and purple and tan,
And my desire to eat them was for naught.

If you ate pistachios too,
I am sure that you would agree.
For they dance across your taste buds,
And you happily start to sing.

Everyone likes pistachios,
I don’t know one soul who doesn’t.
They’re the best I’m sure you agree,
You can eat them for no one says that you musn’t.

My Lonely Old Friend

Her name is Raquel.
I saw her everyday.
She promised she’d never move.
She did.
Her new home is in heaven.
I miss her with my whole heart.
But I always visit her in dreams.
And she sends me mind messages at school.
I always make sure to reply.
Sincere and truthfully.
I didn’t cry at her funeral.
She would’ve wanted me to be happy.
But she asked I come to her,
When she took her last breath.

Lost Teens

Chapter 1

“Come on Kameron! Let’s go to the carnival!” shouted Linnie Cushflin to her boyfriend, Kameron Siycuttle. They were both 17 and they loved adventure. Kameron didn’t really want to go to the Mayor Kernlefiz carnival because he didn’t really think there would be any adventure. They were walking to it by moonlight because there had already been the time change and it was 6 o’clock.
“I’m coming, I’m coming.” Kameron said in a boring voice as he walked out of the living room the front door where Linnie was waiting and held her hand.
“Do you wanna run instead of walking there? It would be more fun.” Linnie asked. Kameron nodded and Linnie took off. She was half way there and Kameron was far behind. “AAAAH! HELP!!!!” Linnie shouted as she fell down a sewer hole. Kameron started running as fast as he could and he quickly fell down the sewer hole behind her since it was disguised. They screamed in terror. All of a sudden Kameron heard a loud, “THUMP”. And a painful whine.
“Owwwwwwwww. Kameron help. Please.” Said the sad voice of Linnie.
“Linnie!” Kameron shouted. Then he hit the hard floor. “ooooooooo.” He said along with a sickening, “Linnie, are you okay?”
“I think so. I’m standing by now but you just landed on my foot.” Linnie whispered in fright.
“Oh. Sorry. Here, I’m gonna try to stand too.” Kameron said. He was half way up when-
“AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!” Linnie’s little brother shouted as he fell down the disguised hole after he secretly spied on Kameron and Linnie. He landed on Kameron with a hard, “Uuuuuuuuh.” And Kameron’s head was apparently the target of Bryce’s stomach. It was very odd looking obviously because Linnie burst out laughing but then got mad because now her little brother, Bryce was dragged into this whole mess too. “I think your boyfriend’s stupid head just knocked the breath out of me.” Bruce managed to get out, gasping at the same time. Bruce was 11 and he thought girls let alone LOVE was stupid.
“We have to get out of here or else we’ll DIE of starvingness!” Linnie said exasperating very much because there were a lot of fresh fish in the sewer hole from when the water used to run through the sewer. “Look fish bones! We can use them to dig through the dirt walls!” Linnie exclaimed. She grabbed a huge bone and jabbed the dirt wall with it. When she jabbed the wall it made a huge hole! “Come on! Dig!” Linnie shouted. The boys picked up gigantic bones and jabbed the wall like Linnie. They had already dug fifteen feet into the wall!! Linnie stepped in and walked through. All of a sudden--- “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Kameron!! Hellllllllllppp!!!!!!” Linnie yelled. She was falling down another hole!

Chapter 2

“Linnie!! Wait up!!” shouted Kameron to his girlfriend, Linnie, as she fell down a deep hole. He caught up to the hole she fell down. He kneeled by the edge of the hole and was about to shout to Linnie when…..
“Jump down the hole, butt face!! My sister just fell down there and I wanna get to her!!!!!!” Bryce exclaimed at the top of his lungs, followed by shoving Kameron down the deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep hole.
“Bryce you stupid dumb wad!!” shouted Kameron to Bryce in fury, while tumbling down the muddy hole. Bryce jumped down behind Kameron and shouted really loud. “Linnie! Watch out, I’m falling since your stupid brother pushed me!!” Kameron shouted for Linnie’s ears.
“I’m not stupid you idiot, you are!” shouted Bryce as he fell to the same spot as Kameron since he had the bone still, and on the way passing Kameron he hit Kameron on the head really hard with the bone so that Kameron passed out for the whole rest of the way down. Both boys landed with a thump, Kameron falling on Bryce who was halfway up.
“UUUUGH!!!” Bryce shouted in pain as the boys fell into piles again. Linnie was up and standing with hands on hips.
“Come on boys, look where we are already! There’s an ocean with magenta water and we’re sitting on lime green sand!! Plus the sun is blue and the tree’s are neon yellow. Every thing is so weird here!” Linnie pointed out. Her auburn hair was very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very raffled and her closed looked worn she was holding the bone still just like her brother since they were so much alike. Their hair, eyes, actions, and skin color,= were practically identical. The only difference was the gender. But Kameron's eyes where a blinding beautiful blue, his hair a stylish blonde, and he was the hottest jock in school and Linnie was the hottest cheerleader imagined. The boys were up by now since I’ve been going on about looks but anyways, I’m getting carried away again.
“Let’s split up. Bryce get wood for the fire, Linnie, please make hammocks, and I’ll find food.” Kameron directed.
“I think we have bigger problems Kammybun, LOOOOOK!!”

Chapter 3

“It’s the Burinacooshus!! I read about in a book!! It was in the land of mystericause! I think that’s where we are!!” Linnie exclaimed. Then she noticed that Kameron didn’t have a bone anymore. “Kammybuns! Where’s your bone?!” she shouted to him.
“I left it up there when you fell down the hole! I would’ve gotten it before I jumped but I never jumped. Your stupid brother pushed me!” Kameron replied.
“Okay first of all, my brother is NOT stupid, 2nd of all, Bryce, don’t push him, and 3rd of all, you should’ve held the bone, and just jumped straight away! BUT THE BEAST IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU KAMMYBUNS!!!!” Linnie shouted and raised the bone.
“Die you stupid Burinacooshus!!” Kameron said, picking up a GINORMOUS fish bone, and stabbing the beat in the stomach with a sharp end. It bled snowy-white blood and collapsed. “Well that’s over with. Now as I said, Bryce, get wood for fire, Linnie please make some hammocks, and I’ll find food. There’s no beast is there?” Kameron directed. Linnie shook her head and started to gather some baby-blue, huge nets that were stranded across the beach and Bryce ran into the woods for wood. He took the bone. As for Kameron, he grabbed the beast by one of its ears and dragged it out some more. He took the fish bones, and started to slice up the beast. It was very light, with no blood in it but it had enough meat to last a few months. He would take a bit for dinner and burn it over the fire when Bryce came back. He just hoped they would finally make it out of this. “Hey Linnie, to save net and energy, you could only make 2 and we could share one.” Kameron suggested to Linnie.
“I think I’ll make 2, but me and Bryce will share one. I’m NOT going to snuggle with you.” Linnie replied. Kameron was about to respond when there was a shrill scream louder than either had ever heard before. IT WAS BRYCE!! “BRYCE!!” Linnie exclaimed as she ran towards the woods. Kameron hesitated, and ran behind her….
smiling.

Chapter 4

You are most likely wondering why Kameron was smiling about Bryce screaming very shrill-like. Well get to learn patience because you won’t find out just yet.
“Wait up Linnie!” Kameron shouted as he ran after Linnie. She loved her brother so, but Kameron hated him. Kameron was acting again and was no longer smiling. Linnie was really fast right now though. He was gasping for air and Linnie finally stopped when she got to the site of her brother lying unconscious on the floor and another Burinacooshus, 15 times bigger than the other though. There was fire wood all around Bryce since Bryce dropped them after the Burinacooshus shot him with his tongue, which has a liquid that goes through skin, making the victim pass out. Linnie grabbed a huge stick and ran towards the momma Burinacooshus. It shot her with its tongue and she fell down like a dumb puppet. “Good job my little Kurekee. You’ve gotten rid of them. Sorry about your son. I needed to act well. (sigh) I love being a spy. It makes life so adventurous…. Anyways, here’s a treat. I’m gonna go back through the portal. I’ll make sure you have enough supplies to last a year or two. Then your on your own.” Kameron said.
Makes a little more sense doesn’t it... Hang in there.
Kameron walked back to the beach and pressed a certain hole on a rock. It was a secret button. A portal tube appearred and Kameron stepped in it and buckled in the bean-bag chair. It zoomed around until Kameron’s portal jerked to a stop. He unbuckled, and stepped out of the portal.
“Ah, you’ve come at last… good work. My men are putting on their Uglog costumes to capture the Cushflins when they awaken. Your dream party room is made. Go relax. You really have done well.” Said Kameron’s boss, Kerionacluggshenomkinlekfrefle, also known as Keri. He hired Kameron as a spy with promises of a dream party room. He was a rich and wonderful man. He was loved by many people and he gave compliments to all staff. “Everything is going as planned…. Mwa-ha-ha-ha, mwa-ha-ha-ha, mwa-hahahaha..

Chapter 5

What?! Kameron’s a spy? Seriously? OMG! What is going on!?
Yes, I just guessed your thoughts…. But if you wanna find out what I’m talking about then read on peoples …. Read on…..
“Uuuh” Bryce moaned as he woke up. The only thing he remembered was screaming at the site of a Burinacooshus and then being shot by a thin, but super long tongue and passing out. He got up, without looking around him. He walked over to his sister and woke her up. She stood up and looked around herself. She gasped and scared Bryce half to death. Her eyebrows narrowed and she mumbled to herself,
“Just as I thought.” Then said to Bryce, “Grab a stick and guard yourself. I thought Kameron was a spy. Evidently I was right. He’s with Keri!” Surrounded by Bryce and Linnie were the “Uglogs” and the Burinacooshus in its cage! They had weird giant masks with indianish carvings and they were almost naked with little scraps of leather covering them. “Okay, let’s use what we learned.” The siblings said in unison. They did all these really cool kung fu moves and knocked all the Uglogs out, then Linnie moved in for the kill on the Burinacooshus. She reached in her pocket and pulled out a jagged knife, stabbing the beast. They started walking back to their portal and Linnie said, “Well, that’s over with at least. I knew Kameron was a spy but I had no idea he was any good or even knew that we were totally and completely an evil family with your parents not being tourists in Egypt, but the world’s evilest people, Quirlen, and Quirlennette. Whoa, shocker.”
She smiled and used her portal to the evil lair with Bryce.

Chapter 6

Okay. I admit. This probably makes the least amount of sense in this WHOLE entire world. Well, don’t worry psychos; it’ll all be cleared up soon. Well at least most of it. There MIGHT be a few more turns.

“Wow! Keri is so nice! When you ask for something, this man so totally goes to extremes! I love this place!” Kameron said as he stood, admiring his own AMAZING super- fun-place-that-has-the-amazing-things-EVER, when he got a call on his cell-phone. He checked his phone and realized it was his new spy partner, Kluckoe. Kluckoe is such a weirdo but like the best spy that Kameron had ever met at the same time. “Hello?” Kameron said as he answered his phone.

“Hey, this is Kameron right? If it is this is Kluckoe. Okay, this an emergency so I’m just gonna assume that it’s you. Well, anyways, the problem is that even though you just got to your big world of awesomeness or whatever it is, you HAVE to do this mission. The Cushflin’s have easily escaped the Uglogs with AMAZING strength and gone to their own lab that their parents made for them. WE have to get to them before they blow up the whole USA and head for China!” said Kluckoe REALLY fast as he got into his Super-Blooper flying car machine to head to Kameron’s spot. Without waiting for a response from Kameron he continued, “I’m in my Super-Blooper and I’m about to leave to get you, and try to be ready to go by the time I get there. Thanks!” Kluckoe hung up and Kameron started gathering the things he dropped on the floor in amazement (he was used to this from Kluckoe.). He had only picked up his phone when there was a knock at the door. Kameron had forgot how fast the Super-Blooper was so he pressed a button on his pocket instead of gathering up all his AWESOME gadgets and all his stuff flew into his pocket. He slipped his jacket on and jumped in the car outside. “Well be there in about 5 seconds, don’t worry.” Kluckoe said. Kluckoe floored the accelerator as Kameron counted to 5, and then Kameron looked up. In front of them was a small shack. The boys jumped out and opened the shack door and walked in. They blinked 3 times and then looked around themselves. They were in the middle of a really cool evil lab. Across from them, Linnie and Bryce were getting out of the portal. Linnie smiled and said,

“Hello Kameron.”

“Hi Linnie.” Said Kameron.

Chapter 7

Okay, here are your thoughts: “Okay, Super-Blooper? Where in the world did you make that up you bozo?” WELL, I got the idea from Mario-Kart, when my brother earned us a new car on the grand prix, but anyways, on with the story……

“How did you know that I was here Kameron?” Linnie asked as she stood in the middle of her and Bryce Cushflin’s evil lair. Their parents were evil people and they were evil too.

“It’s obvious isn’t it? My partner here is named Kluckoe and he told about it. We have camera’s on light poles, camera’s in here, camera’s in your portal, and even camera’s on the “mysterious island”. Kluckoe called me and picked me up in his VUPER DUPER DEE LUPER fast Super-Blooper.” Kameron said, smirking.

“Well, I guess to finish this it will be a fight to the DEATH. Get your weapon already slowpoke.” Linnie replied, pulling out her sword.

“You only think I’m slow, Lardo.” Replied Kameron, pulling out his light saber that can change form to any type of weapon from machine-gun to sling-shot. Linnie didn’t know it could do that. It was pretty cool. They did all these really cool moves here and there and well, basically everywhere, until Kameron had a super-spiked club held to her chest on the floor.

“Okay, you win Kameron, now let me go and I’ll come to the good side.” pleaded Linnie.

“I think I’ve learned my lesson about trusting you Linnie.” Replied Kameron, and with that, Kameron slammed her in the chest with the super-spiked club and she fell down dead. Kameron stood up and saw Bryce standing there, horror-struck, and then watched as Bryce screamed like a little girl and jumped in the portal and went back to the island. Kameron slammed the portal with the super-spiked club and destroyed the whole thing so Bryce would be trapped. Then the whole book about the trouble with the evil kids is over.

THE END

WAIT! WAIT!

We will now reveal the pictures of Linnie, Bryce, Kameron, and Kluckoe in the order written! Keep reading to look at their picture!!!

A Baby's Mind

Don’t you always wonder what babies are thinking when they stare you in the face, or why they make a disgusting face when you try to make them laugh. Well if you read this, the smart baby Tharia will tell you what she does and why she does it. She was a baby who watched her mother type and is now able to type at 4 months old. Everyone says she is a child prodigy, but they still do all the smiling, funny faces baby crap. She typed her life as a baby secretly and gave it to me to type into a story. She already knew how to type a story of course but she is always tired and wants to take a nap and it would take her a while to type a story with all those naps she needs. When I type her story it will be as if she is saying it. So here goes the life of Tharia.
Epilogue
My name is Tharia and right at this point I’m 4 and half months old. Every one knows I can type but they don’t know can do anything good or passionate, let alone write a whole entire, lovely story. So now I will let them now I can.
Entry #1: Don’t get all goo-goo!
Why do adults or even my cousins think I like it when they get all “goo-goo” in my face? It’s just stupid and I don’t know what to do so I adorably smile and giggle. If they read this, then no offense but the “goo-goo” crap is stupid. How would you like it if I came up to you and yelled, “gootchy-gootchy goo! I got you!” in a tone that makes you feel stupid, then yanked you up and spun you around until you spat up?! I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t like it. So don’t get all goo-goo.
Entry #2: Lay off the gooey baby food!
Please give me better food! You’d probably like to know that I am adopted. Any way, I’m also just now teething a bit so now my mom’s giving me the baby goo food stuff. Its TERRIBLE tasting! Don’t you adults ever wonder why we don’t eat the stuff or we spit up a lot? It’s because we don’t want that nasty stuff in us! Could give us something better, but still as soft? Maybe like crushed up like mad crackers? Just find something better tasting please. Make a mental note, LAY OFF THE GOOEY BABY FOOD!
Entry #3: Can I have a better bed?
May I have a better bed for the night? I hate being locked up in the hard floored crib. Its one reason we cry at night and when we don’t cry at night it means we’re finally getting used to sleeping on a rock. We really hate it when you put the crib at your feet. How are we supposed to sleep with that stench at our noses? But if you put it far away from your bed then how will you get to us fast when we roll over when we sleep and run into those cold, wooden, bars, hitting our head, therefore making us cry. Could you at least soften the bars and soften the rock/bed we sleep on? Please give me a better bed.
Last but not least Entry #4: I’m not the only one.
You are probably amazed by many things by now but don’t think I’m a child prodigy or something; we babies all are super smart. We can all do something super smart and special for instance my best baby friend, Sariah can do a back, front, and side flip on a trampoline. She also crawls all the way to her trampoline while she should be napping, including the fact she crawls out of the crib, through the dog door in the back, down steps, and last but not least she can climb onto the trampoline. She stands on the trampoline and does a back flip, lands on her feet, does a front flip, lands on her feet, and does a side flip once again landing on her feet. She repeats this 15 times and then crawls all the way back to her crib. Amazing huh? Well we all can do just as good on a different talent we’re just to scared to let you know. Treat us all the same.
The last words of my story:
This is my talent and now I the brave, Tharia will end my story. I plan to be an author and I already am. I, Tharia Norswell is finishing my story.

Well, that was what Tharia Norswell told me to type directly and now I will tell who I am. I am the amazing Tharia’s big sister, Nathaleen Norswell. My talent was swimming and I could swim across the 25 meter without breathing once doing freestyle. I am now 21 and I am a world record holder and an Olympic champion. I can swim a 50 freestyle in 28 seconds and a 25 freestyle in well, 9 seconds. So now I will finish the whole entire baby’s mind story. Right about ……. NOW!
THE END

Getting a Dog

My favorite dog in the world
It’s kind of funny how I got my dog. In fact it’s so different and odd that I’ve decided to tell you about it. So here goes . . . . . . . . It was a Saturday morning in February and the sun wasn’t even shining yet when my brother ran into my room shouting, “We got a dog! We got a dog, Waveney! Wake up we got a dog!” I sat up and mumbled, “Nice joke Austin. How long did you work on that one.” “It’s not a joke, come and see!” Austin grabbed my hand and dragged me out of my bed and into the hallway. I looked down the stairs. “Well, where’s the dog?” I said to my brother Austin. “Be quiet and listen….” He whispered. I listened and heard little pit pats. At first I thought it was my dad on his laptop. “Do you here the dog?” Austin whispered. “That’s not a dog, it’s dad on his laptop.” I whispered. “Is too a dog! Come on.” he whispered back. Once again he grabbed my hand and yanked me down the stairs. When got down stairs my eyes met two beady little black eyes that belonged to a little black and brown miniature pinscher. My dad (who really was on his laptop) smiled and said, “ Surprise! Your mom bought him last night with your Uncle Paul.” “ YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! WE GOT A DOG!!!” I shouted. My dog lives till’ this day.

The Girls Party Room

The Girls Party Room
I think it’s SO unfair how girls nearly always work harder than boys in school because the boys are always talking about what level they are on, on their video game or they are playing video games instead of doing their homework. Anyways, the principal of Froren Elementary must have thought this to because she always checked which grades were higher. The boys or the girls? Of course, the girls at Froren were always far ahead of the boys so the principal made a big change at Froren. The boys would never know what this big change, of course because the change was in the girl’s bathroom. The teachers of course knew of this so they let the girl’s go to the bathroom every morning. All the girls in the school had a meeting to learn the code to get into the secret party room that had been made in the girl’s bathroom. They learned that they had to press one block with their pointer finger, then touch the one next to it seven times, and next punched the one under it (that was soft) five times with the left hand. After all that an entry opened up. The girls would then walk into the awesome party room that was made for them. Of course they would do this every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. When they walked through the entry way a green scanner would scan them and make a clone. The clone would go back to class and get them all A’s as they had been getting before. When new girls came to the school, they had a secret meeting and they also did a few actual weeks of school before being able to learn the code, and go to the party room. The kindergartener’s did the same thing as new girls did. In the party room, there were lockers for swimsuit’s and other needed items. There was a shower room, a changing room, a pool with a high dive, a hot tub, and a baby pool for kindergartener’s. It also has a movie theatre, a TV in front of the pools, and a candy shop with ALL kinds of candy for free. The girls were in paradise. There’s even more! There’s a spa, a hot DJ, a disco ball, a dance floor, a roller skating and blading rink, a lazor tag room, an amusement park, 5 go-cart tracks, 5 base-ball fields, 5 soft-ball fields, 5 bowling alleys, 5 swim teams, 5 foot-ball fields, 5 soccer fields, and even more sweet, awesome stuff. One day a first grade boy was curious about why all the new girls and kindergarteners went somewhere on their first day of school at Froren. As a matter of fact, he was so curious that the next day he went to school with a wig, girls outfit, and called himself a girl named Synthia Welbig. He was pretending that he was a new girl at Froren. On his first day being dressed as “Synthia” he was pulled out of class. He was told about a mysterious party room in the girl’s bathroom and also told that he would be told the code to go in it after he got good grades in three weeks of school straight. He did his best for three weeks and then was pulled out of class again but this time taken into the girl’s bathroom under an invisibility blanket. He was told that he must swear that he would never tell a boy about what he was about to see. They showed him a code to get into the party room and the door opened. Then they closed it again and told him to try it. He repeated the code and the door opened. They told him to step inside. He stepped in side and was amazed to find himself in a world beyond imagination. He looked behind himself and smiled at the teacher saying thanks. He also noticed that standing beside the teacher was a girl that looked EXACTLY like what he was dressed as. His clone walked out of the door and he could tell it was headed for class. The teacher told him to enjoy his stay and then she closed the door and left. At the end of the day he left the party room with a big smile on his face. At his house he told his parents about the girls party room and about his investigation. The parents thought that this party room was unfair and the next day they arranged a meeting with the principal. At the meeting the parents told the principal what the son had done and demanded that the boys should have a party room to but only the smart boys would be allowed to go there. They also demanded that the principal tell all the boys about the girls party room and tell them what will happen to the boys bathroom so the boys will work harder in school. The principal promised she would do as told and that she would do it immediately. She picked up the phone and demanded for what the parents wanted. Every body lived happily ever after at Froren with the girls and the boys party room.

Gnarley Cheese

By Sydnee Charleevarck (pen name)
Heyloo, my name is Alexander Flagincharcofsigfringe and I will now tell you about my sad life as a middle schooler. It was sad and lonely since everyone was mean to me because I always where a polo shirt, huge nerdy glasses, overalls, and I also have a huge butt. There’s one other thing to. I’m not smart, I was held back in seventh grade, and I’m thirteen and my voice STILL hasn’t matured to a pre-teen voice as the 11 year olds already have a matured voice and they hardly crack when they talk. But the worst of all………. I’m a fricken little midget! I’m 4 foot 3. Yeah, I know, I hold a stupid record at my school. And for the whole entire state of Minnesota!!!! But I’m only telling the worst part in middle school, and here it goes.
At my school, 2 years ago in my 6th grade, a bully stole the cheese from my bologna sandwich. My mom puts huge, melted wads of cheese in my sandwich (and still writes little baby, “I love ya honey!” notes to me) and they’re sticky too so you know what the bully did with it? He stuck it on a basketball, shot the ball into the 5th basketball hoop, and the cheese has been stuck across the top ever since. This year though, that one bully was overpowered by a new bully who is 7 foot 11 and beats the crap out of everyone including his friends if they say something hardly offensive. That’s why this year, about everyday, I go home with a bloody nose and either a steak on my eye or school crutches with my leg dangerously dragging limply behind me. Uuuh, the pain. And here’s where the story gets interesting, I think. A few weeks ago I was eating lunch all alone when the bully, Butch Pain-strong comes walking over to me. Here’s what he said,
“Hey dumbo, whatcha eatin’ today. I heard my assistant took your cheese a few years back.”
“N-n-nothin’ much,” I say “j-just some puddin’ and b-b-beefaroni in a th-th-th-th-th-thermos.” I continue, trembling.
“Gimme’ that puddin’.” Butch says as he takes the pudding, sucks it all away and dumps the thermos on the ground. “Now don’t worry, little baby, I got somethin’ in mind you could eat.” Butch picked me up like I was a caterpillar and walked over to the rotten, smelly, basketball hoop. He reached his hand as high as his chest, (since he’s super tall) and took off the cheese wad. Ugh, it was so gnarly!! It had grown hair and it smelled so bad I almost threw up right there on the basketball hoop. Butch held it away from his nose and reached me far away from him. he reached his other arm out and commanded me to open my mouth... I did. He stuffed the cheese in my mouth and I gasped and he yelled at me to chew. I chewed with all my might and the lunch-patio was in an uproar. I swallowed and gasped for air. The world around me was dizzy and then I went unconscious in Butch’s hand. Apparently Butch and everyone else thought I was dead and they all started to freak out. I was dropped and the principal called 911. The ambulance came and I was taken away…….
I woke up in a hospital with an IV on my arm and a machine that helped me breathe. My mom was standing by me and she shrieked for the nurse when I awoke. I’m still in the hospital now and apparently I’m the talk of the school. Surprisingly a lot of girls had come while I was asleep and admitted that they had had crushes on me. Apparently I was a hot rod for the school but my drama-school knew how to hide it.
Well, my story’s over now, thanks for listening, and buh-bye.

Holly's Story

“Uuuuuuuuh! Why does Georgia have to come with me to Lizzie’s house, Mom?” I yelled at the top of my lungs. I, Holly Stornwell was about to go to Lizzie Corning’s house. Everybody likes her so I’m lucky to be on her “good people list”. I couldn’t wait to go. Then I heard that my sister, Georgia Stornwell was going to come with me.
“Because Georgia doesn’t have any where to go and I have to go to my job, massaging sumo wrestlers!” my mom shouted. That is one of the most embarrassing things ever! My mom took me to her work once and I nearly threw up from the sight of my mom massaging nearly naked, fat sumo wrestlers.
“It’s so unfair though! She ruins every thing! She’s a dramatic little brat! She gets everything she wants! It’s not fair!!” I shouted in fury. I really was telling the truth. She gets mom to do something she wants and then when moms gone she smirks and laughs at me. I’ve been trying to get my mom to go on a diet. She’s kind of fat but she compares herself to those sumo wrestlers and when she does, she seems like the skinniest person in the world. It really bothers me.
“Your sister is coming and that’s FINAL!” my mom screamed. She stomped out of the room and of course, there goes Georgia smirking her head off. She is so annoying! I sighed and walked out the door. Georgia followed.
“Mommy said I had to come Holly! Wait for meeee!” Georgia complained. Then she dramatically started crying. She really displeases me!
“I know Georgia, you should be following me and I’m not waiting! I should be at Lizzie’s house right now!” I shouted. I kept walking and I turned around in front of Lizzie’s house. Georgia had been following with that look she has when her drama doesn’t work. I wish she was a nicer sister. Any ways, I walked up the steps to Lizzie’s mansion. She’s a rich, nice, girl. Rare, isn’t it. I hit her doorbell with my index finger then froze. I was so scared. About 30 seconds after I rang, Lizzie’s butler, Cameron, answered the door. It felt like 5 hours.
“Welcome to the Corning residence. Are you Madam Lizzie’s company?” Cameron asked.
“I-i-i think so.” I answered.
“Come in then, company Holly.” Cameron continued. I walked in and stared around at the humongous staircase, ginormous living room, the super big family room and the parents 2 huge offices. It was bigger than I imagined. “Madam Lizzie is up the elevator, floor 9, and the first door to the right. She will be waiting for you, company Holly.” Cameron directed. I walked to the elevator and pressed the up button. The door sprang open and I squealed. Cameron eyed me. I stepped in and pressed the button that said 9. The door to the elevator nearly closed and then opened again. I had forgotten about Georgia. Her face was blowing red!
“Oops. Sorry Georgia.” I said, cowering. She kicked me in the shin and slapped me across the face. It hurt. The door closed and it went so fast, that I didn’t have time to sit in the massage chair that was in the elevator. I noticed that it was there since there were 5,676 floors. I thought it was tall from the outside. The door sprang open and I walked out. There was the first door to the right. It said “Lizzie’s play room” right on the door. I knocked on the door softly and waited.
“Come in Holly. Cameron texted me your arrival.” Lizzie said. She’s really nice. I walked in. Lizzie was sitting at a table, drawing a picture of her and Rianna. Rianna was her best friend. I was just a friend.
“Hey Holly. Whadda you wanna do?” I asked in a clearly nervous voice.
“I guess we could draw a bit. Then we could go swimming. Don’t worry; I have an extra swimsuit for you.” Lizzie answered. All of a sudden there was pounding at the door. I blushed. I had forgotten about Georgia again.
“Oh, I guess I forgot out my little sister. Heh, heh. My mom had to go to work and made me bring her along.” I said pitifully. I opened the door and Georgia charged in.
“I guess I could give her an extra swimsuit too.” Lizzie said smiling. Georgia didn’t seem to bother her. Georgia sat down, a calm look on her face. She grabbed some paper and a few crayons and started drawing. I followed her actions. I drew a pumpkin and a few fruits. Lizzie looked at them and smiled. After five minutes of silence Lizzie stood up stretched and said, “I guess we’ll go swim now. Here’s a suit Holly. And here’s one for you Georgia.” Lizzie said. She tossed me and Georgia a swimsuit. “There are 2 bathrooms right outside this door. Each of you can use one while I change in this one from this room” Lizzie directed. Georgia and I walked out the door and into the bathrooms outside the door. After I changed I walked out of the bathroom and there was Georgia and Lizzie waiting for me. “Just follow me. I’ll lead the way.” Lizzie said. They walked down the hall, into an elevator, Lizzie pressed the basement button and the elevator zoomed down. It jerked to a stop and Georgia huddled by me. I pushed her away and she grimaced. Lizzie walked out of the elevator and me and Georgia followed. Lizzie squealed, ran and dived in the pool. “Come on in! The water’s great!” Lizzie shouted to me. I smiled, ran and jumped in. I’d never been in such a warm swimming pool! It was a little cooler than a hot tub and way warmer than a real pool. It was heaven. I swam towards Lizzie and followed her as she got out. They walked over to a set of high diving boards. They were 15 feet high! Lizzie motioned to me to climb the second high dive as she climbed the first. I smiled, and climbed. It was a long way up and I was exhausted. I think Lizzie could tell that I was exhausted because she pressed a button and an attached, invisible but now visible luxury room. It had a massaging chair and a free snack machine. I was surprised. Lizzie and I sat down and we pressed a shiny red button next to our chair that said, “CANDY”. My candy popped up and I was about to take a bite when I heard a surprising yell.
“HOOOOOLLLLLLLLLYYYY!! HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPP!!” it was Georgia. She had slipped off the purple, extra large noodle she was using and she didn’t know how to swim! My annoying but precious and only little sister was sinking! She was sinking! Lizzie jumped up and got ready to dive but I motioned to her to stay back so I could save my sister. Lizzie backed off and I dived into the 15 feet deep pool. I swam with all my might and I quickly reached Georgia. She was already 5 feet underwater and sinking like a 500 lb weight! Before I could go 2 feet she was 10 feet under and the water pressure was closing in on her. I dived down with all my might. She hit the rock hard bottom of the pool and the pressure was also closing in on me who was 10 feet under. I was starting to float back up! I frantically swam down. I was almost there! I made to the bottom! I grabbed Georgia around the chest and the thighs. I pushed off the bottom of the pool and kicked vigorously to get back up. I was running out of breath now! Almost there, and I made it! I sucked in the wonderful air and swam towards the edge. By now, Lizzie had climbed down the high dive and was waiting for me by the edge. I passed geogia onto Lizzie who set her down carefully on a bed (on of the chairs by the pool that you sit in during break at your pool). I quickly climbed out of the pool and rushed to Georgia’s side. I put my ear on her chest and listened for a heart beat. After a few seconds, there it was. I heard Georgia’s heart beating! I jumped up and placed my hands on her stomach. I pressed down and up spurted water from Georgia’s mouth. She was alive! Alive, alive, and alive!! I pressed down again and I got the same conclusion. I did this 6 times and boom! Georgia took in a breath. Unfortunately she was still asleep. I smiled and fell asleep, laying across Georgia.
“Whe-where am I?”I asked. I woke up in a strange room and my vision was kind of unfocused. After about a minute I could see clear again. I was in a hospital room but it had better stuff than usual.
“You’re in the thousandths floor hospital room. You’re sister is right next to you in the pink bed. You got the plain white one.” Lizzie said. She was standing right next to me by my bed. I had some wrap thing on my arm and I assumed it was an I.V.. I must have gotten pneumonia. “You got pneumonia from being underwater for so long. You were really brave!” I was right because Lizzie just spoke my mind
“I-is G-g-georgia o-okay?” I asked, my voice tumbling over the words. Lizzie nodded. “Can I get up and see her?” I questioned. Lizzie smiled real wide and nodded again. She took out the I.V. and I walked over to my sisters little pink bed. She was awake and, with her eyes half open, watching the movie Shark’s Tale. I loved that movie and I sat down on the side of her bed. She looked up at me, scowled and took off her head phones.
“Whadda you want?” Georgia said in a mean voice. I guess no one had told how I saved her life.
“I just wanted to let you know that if it weren’t for me you would have drowned, suffocated, and died. I saved your life so don’t give me that look and scowl.” I said, smiling. Georgia’s eyes widened and she gave me a big hug. I no longer hated her and she no longer bothered me. We lived happily ever after. And before she died 3 days ago she said to me,
“Holly, I want to let you know that you were the best brother ever.”
Yep, that’s right. I forgot to tell you that I’m a 12 year old boy. Oops.
THE END

Swirl Land

“Maw! Yes! I finally finished my maztapieze! I alwayz new I would become a world famouz French painta!” exclaimed Geclaw Nersoovock. He was 25 and he had just moved from Paris France to America. Anyway, here’s what the crazy man said next, “And zuch a great idea it waz, a zwirl of purple, blue, magenta and neon green! Aaah now juzt to get a cup of- umm, ehh, whaz eet called? Covblod, choomunk? Oyo! - coffeez, sit back, relax, and wait for za painting to dry.” He went into his kitchen and got a cup of coffee he sat back on a purple sofa and turned on the TV. “Oyo! My favorite! Oyo! How amazing! Zat one gottza hurt though.” Geclaw said. He was watching his favorite new show in America, and it’s called painting-a-mania. When he said “zat one gottza hurt though” it was a painting of a man being struck by a bull. All of a sudden there was a ding from a timer by his painting. “Ah! Za painting must be dry now!” Geclaw shouted in delight. He jumped up, spilling his coffee on himself and saying, “EEEEEYAAA!!! WHY THE HECK DID YOU TYPE THAT MY MAZTER BROOKZ!!!” then he walked over to the painting and stared at it for a LOONG time. He reached his finger towards the painting but the painting mysteriously got farther and farther away. He reached out farther and touched it. “WHAT IN A HUMAN’Z MIND MAZTER BROOKZ WATCH WHAT YOU’RE TYPING!!” said Geclaw as he fell in the painting head first he hit his head on an odd land and groaned. He stood up and looked around. Everything was swirly and there was a sign saying “WELCOME TO SWIRL LAND! Enjoy your swirly stay!” He walked around then exclaimed at the top of his voice, “MAZTER BROOKZ!! WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINZT ME!! I’M ZUPPOZED TO BE A POOR PAINTER, NOT A PAIN TARGET!!” When he said this it started raining swirls. Geclaw hated it because it was actually paint rain swirls so he was now all blue, magenta, purple, and neon green. He saw a tree about 100 yards away and he ran with all his might to it. When he got there he was angry to find that there were no leaves and it was still pouring on him. He decided to climb the tree since he had nothing to do. He loved how swirly it and everything else was but it also made him a little dizzy sometimes. He got the top of the tree and took in a deep breath. Everything was starting to be a little better. He was hungry though so he reached for an apple on a different branch. As soon as he grabbed the apple he and the apple fell to the ground.
Then, “BOOM!!” he woke up and he realized the swirl land was a big fun dream. “Oh, thankz Mazter Brookz. I knew it would turn out good eventually.

The Magic Carpet

“It’s the hundredth day of school already?” Sheilniya Corveen asked her favorite art teacher ever the 22 year old Mr.Sheekniyaller. He was a young hot teacher with an eight pack. “Yep. I have something to show you to.” He replied. He led her through a door and into a dark and majestic ancient looking room. The walls were a furry magenta and the ceiling glowed like a fire fly. In the middle of the room was a really red and pretty carpet that looked as if it were floating a few inches off the ground. “You don’t need to worry about missing your next class because I stopped time. I’m a norwigien wizard you know.” Mr.Sheekniyaller whispered. “Oh really? I heard of those in some book I read last summer.” She replied. “You’re not going to believe this,” said the teacher as he stepped onto the magic carpet. “But this magic carpet can fly us anywhere.” He sat down on it and motioned for Sheilniya to come sit down with him. Now Sheilniya was 19 as Mr.Sheekniyaller taught her 1st period art in high-school. Sheilniya was held back a lot because she didn’t do well with the other mean teachers. Sheilniya sat down on the magic carpet and Mr. Sheekniyaller smiled at her and said, “Call me Chad.” He picked up the end of the carpet and shook it and then a steering wheel appeared. He took some keys out of his pocket and stuck them in the key slot and turned. He pressed a gas pedal with his foot that was hanging over the side. The magic carpet started flying really high and a large door in front of them opened. Chad drove out and took them up really high in the sky. When they could barely see the school anymore Chad stopped. “ Sheilniya I’ve been wanting to ask you something,” he turned torwards her and held her hand, “ Will you marry me?” Sheilniya felt a sudden burst of love for Chad and she smiled really big. “ Chad I will!” they hugged and kissed for a bit and then flew around some. They had the wedding in September on the 21st and lived happily ever after with their 3 kids, Shayni, Sarakeetly, and Samlikeefer.

The End

Flying Cars and Change

I’ve always had a great idea,

I think the world should know.

It includes all flying cars,

It didn’t come to mind real slow.



The roads will be made of magnetic steel,

The cars will repel up high.

And I truly do really feel,

That this idea will fly.



A turbo engine will make them fly,

Across the sky to Spain.

It will be hard to drive it straight,

Everyone really must train.



If you must test this idea,

Just go ahead and see,

It will work, just know,

The idea came from me.

Lilly and the Candy Corn

Part 1
By Waveney
It was a calm and shining day in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Down at the bottom of it was the house of the Shambleg’s. Now the Shambleg’s were hermit crabs that could live undersea because they were well, sort of able to breath down there. I have no idea why this certain family of hermit crabs could breathe undersea so please don’t ask. Anyway Lilly Shambleg was the only child in this family. She was sitting on her very soft water bed and was decorating the headrest with shining shells from the land. She would always brag to her friends about how long she could hold her breathe on land. She could hold it for 29 precise seconds. She sighed and dropped her shining shells. She was hungry. She got up and crawled over to her candy corn basket for some. She would fill it up every time it was empty. Today was one of those times.
“Empty again!” she said for she had just filled it up yesterday. She grabbed ten shellbucks and went into the living room. When she walked in the living room she said to her mom who was knitting as always.
“I’m going to buy some more candy corn, Mom.” Lilly said loudly.
“Again? I thought you just bought some more yesterday.” Her mom replied.
“Yeah well apparently my new pet fly Carz still had his air bubble on and he ate the rest of it.” Lilly replied. She walked out the front door, put her helmet on, and rode her water powered scooter to the candy store. When she walked in through the door a bell rang. Ms. Warnetlekan looked up from her cash register and smiled at her usual customer. She was the candy store owner and she was the only person who worked there. She was a Wing Flying fish. The store was called Ms.Warnetlekan’s Cool Candy store and the kids call it M&W&C, C. Lilly went over to the Candy corn circle. The front of the “Triple C circle” didn’t have any candy corn so Lilly turned it with her claw. There still wasn’t any candy corn so she turned it again. STILL no candy corn. She sighed and walked over to the buying place.
“Ms.Warnetlekan, I think you’re out of candy corn.” She said.
“I know it’s a really bad thing isn’t it. I already ordered some more so it’ll be here soon.” Ms.Warnetlekan replied.
“How soon? How many days?” Lilly asked.
“Umm... I think it’ll take about four weeks for it to come in.” Ms.W answered.
“Four weeks! I can’t go without candy corn for that long!” Lilly cried. She walked out the door and put on her helmet. She got on her scooter and rode home. When she got home she walked in the door with a frown on her face.
“What’s wrong honey?” her mother asked sympathy on her face.
“M&W&C, C was out of candy corn and there won’t be any more for about 4 weeks and maybe even longer!” Lilly replied.
“Oh dear! Honey I’m not sure that you can go that long without candy corn.” Her mother replied, worry showing in her voice.
“That’s exactly what I was thinking when I walked out of the store! Can we go for our evening walk now? It’s 5 already.” She replied then asked.
“Sure I guess. Just let me put my shoes on.” Her mom said getting up from her knitting and walking over to the family shoe basket. She picked up her shoes and walked over to the couch again. As she untied her shoes she watched Lilly walk back to her room. Lilly was walking down the hall but then stopped suddenly. Lilly picked up the picture of her dad and her eyes suddenly filled with tears. Lilly’s dad had died one year ago in the Sharmainian waterquake. In the Sharmainian waterquake the water went wilder than it ever had before and it killed many people including Lilly’s dad. Lilly put the picture down and walked into her room. She grabbed her shoes and slipped them on while she was sitting on her bed. She then walked out of her room and down the hall and opened the front door. He mom walked out side and Lilly followed. They walked a few blocks in silence.
“Look mom! Look at that sign! Someone is selling candy corn just a block away from here!” Lilly suddenly shouted pointing with her left claw at a small sign. Lilly started running as fast as she could down the block. She stopped in front of a huge line and started waiting. 30 minutes later she was finally at the front of the line.
“2 bags of candy corn please.” She asked.
“That’ll be 2 dollars Ms.Shambleg.” a boy named Varlen said to her smiling. He was a quillback fish and he was best friends with Lilly. Lilly unzipped her pocket and searched for her wallet. She couldn’t find it.
“Sorry Varlen, I can’t find my wallet.” She said sadly.
“Well, with this line I’m afraid I can’t hold your spot Lilly.” He replied, a frown forming on his face.
“Okay. I’ll just go find my wallet and then get in the back of the line.” She replied. She walked out of line and headed down the block. She was walking and staring at her feet when she accidently ran into someone who was going through a wallet.
“Oh! Sorry Lilly!” her best friend Varkeela (who was a zingle fish) was smiling at her.
“It’s okay. I’m sorry too.” Lilly replied. She looked at the wallet Varkeela had been going through.
“Hey Lilly, is this your wallet? I found it on the ground over here and I was looking for a name in it.” Varkeela asked Lilly.
“Yeah I think it is mine! Thanks for finding it Varkeela.” Lilly replied. Lilly took the wallet and walked down the block. She was watching her feet again when she ran into someone AGAIN. She looked up with a confused look on her face. She was curious about who she had run into this time.
“Hey! If you want some candy corn, get in the back of the line!” a strange man said to her. Lilly looked at who was behind the man. It was the line for candy corn. She walked down the line a very long way from the man and finally met the end of the line. She was very far from getting candy corn and when it was her turn to buy candy corn she smiled for her legs were very tired.
“I’m sorry Lilly but we’re out of candy corn now.” Varlen said to her frowning sadly.
“Okay.”Lilly said her voice cracking. “I was thinking about breaking my addiction to candy corn any way.” Lilly smiled and everyone lived happily- Wait, scratch that! All of a sudden a candy corn truck drove by. Lilly couldn’t help her self. She ran as fast as she could and jumped onto the back of the truck. She held on with all of her might and her mom and Varlen screamed after her.

Part 2
By Waveney Brooks
Lilly cried as she reached down and tried to open the back of the candy corn truck she had jumped on by force of habit since she hadn’t had and candy corn in like forever (in her mind). She opened the back of the truck and air piled out of it. She wasn’t expecting this so of course she gagged and gasped for water since she lived underwater (she was in a weird family of underwater hermit crabs). When she could breathe again she crawled into the truck and shut the door. She sat down and then realized what was right in front of her. It was millions and millions of bags of candy corn!! Lilly felt as if she were in heaven. She gobbled down all fifty-five packages of candy corn then faced another pile of one hundred fifty-five packages of candy corn. She devoured those also. When there was no more candy corn she fell asleep and dreamed that she was back at home. When she woke up she was happy. “Mom, I had the worst dream ever! I almost had to try and give up my candy corn addiction and I got stick on a candy corn and” she broke off. She looked around her self and realized that it wasn’t a dream. She was in the candy corn truck. Her stomach was full and she had to go to the bathroom. “Eek! This is a bad thing!! Where will I go to the bathroom?” she said frowning. She looked around and realized there was a completely empty bucket in the corner. “Well I guess I might as well do my business the olden’ way!” she said frowning. She picked up the bucket and did her business. When she was done she sighed and was glad she got that out of her. She realized that she was now very bored. All of a sudden she heard a low sounding noise. It sounded like a merkonia. You blew water into it and it made noise. She remembered how her dad had one of those. She looked over in the corner that the noise was coming from. She hadn’t looked at this corner before. When she saw the corner she saw a man playing his merkonia. He looked as if he had been in a water quake and Lilly could tell that he hadn’t shaved in a while. He was an odd hermit crab like Lilly and he had a huge shell full of stuff.
“Hello little missy. My name is Jeremiah Shambleg and I was one of the few people to survive the Sharmainian waterquake. But I did it secretly. No one knows I’m even alive. Boy do I miss my little girl and my wife.” He sighed. Lilly’s eyes widened at the mention of her fathers name and kept widening the whole time he spoke.
“I-i-i-i am Lilly Shambleg, y-y-y-your d-d-d-d-daughter. Dad! I thought you were dead!!!! How could you do this to me and mom!?!?” Lilly said her voice rising. Her father’s eyes also widened at the mention of her name. He jumped up and hugged Lilly a big long hug. Lilly hugged him back.
“Lilly you will never believe how much I missed you! I spent my nights staring at this picture of you and your mother!!” Lilly’s dad dug in his pocket and pulled out a picture of her and her mom. “I missed you more than the distance between Pluto and the Sun! How did you get here anyway?!” Lilly’s father said.
“I missed you so much to! After you supposedly died I became addicted to candy corn. I was about to stop my addiction when I saw this specific candy corn truck drive by and I jumped onto here by force. I was really sad but now I’m glad I did jump on this truck. Come on dad! We have to get off here and go home. You can see mom!” Lilly responded. Her dad nodded and smiled
“You’re right. I do want to see Cassandra SOOOO much. Come on, on the count of three we’ll open the back door and jump out. Then we’ll find our way home.” He responded. He counted to three and he and Lilly opened the door. They jumped out and landed rolling on the gravel. Luckily they had their shells. They stood up and wiped off their shells. “Well, it looks like we got stuck in Kernlepan town. One of the most dangerous, shark infested waters. Most people don’t care about that. They think it’s a FAKE MYTH. But I’ve traveled through here and I’ve found out its true. TRUST me.” Lilly’s father whispered.
“Eeeeeeuuw. That’s scary! What if one of us gets stolen? What’ll we do then?” Lilly said shivering.
“If they got me I’ll find a way out. I’ve done it before. If it’s you then I’ll save you. I saved a young boy shrimp once from the sharks. Hard times, hard times. But I can guarantee you that the sharks probably won’t get us.” Lilly’s dad said. He was about to say something else when there were suddenly loud screams. They were screams of all kind from all ages. They suddenly spotted some shrimp and kettle fish being chased by huge tattooed sharks. The sharks were smiling and licking their lips. The smallest one picked a tiny shrimp and stuck him in a shell, then holding the shell with his mouth swam back towards a cave that said “SHARK CAVING! BEWARE: YOU’RE ENTRY MIGHT MEAN YOUR DEATH!!!” he swam in it and disappeared.
“RUUUUN LILLY!!!!! They can catch you alive!!” her father shouted as he started running himself. Lilly ran as fast as she could. A humongous fin grabbed her and she screamed loudly with all her might. “Lilly! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!” her father screamed frantically grabbing at her. He missed as shark tugged her up and held her in his mouth by her shell.
“DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDY! Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Lilly shouted at the top of her lungs. She started to cry as she was carried off into the shark caving with her dad screaming after her.

Part 3
By Waveney Brooks, 4th grade
“Let go of me you rude, nasty, lifeless shark!” Lilly shouted at the head shark, Lemorgan, as he carried Lilly Shambleg into the dangerous shark caving. The shark grunted then released its grip on Lilly, causing her to fall to the hard rocky, shark caving floor. She screamed as she fell and then smiled, suddenly falling asleep on the soft, cushiony, sleep spell floor. Lilly woke up to the sound of grown sharks laughing.
“Okay here’s a good one. Why did the shrimp cross the road?” a shark that looked in his twenties said.
“I don’t know. Why Leonard?” a girl shark said. She had a tattoo that said “Juliette plus Leonard. Lilly figured she was Juliette and the one telling the joke was her husband/boyfriend, Leonard. She also heard that sharks never got married.
“To get the shrimp treat in my mouth! Hahahahahahahahahaha!” Leonard said, pointing to his mouth and laughing as all the other sharks did.
“What’s all this laughing about?” a deep growly voice said. All the sharks froze in their spots, then quickly grabbing whatever cleaning tool lay beside them. They started cleaning, fright showing on their faces. The shark with the deep growly voice was the leader, Lemorgan. Lemorgan walked around, and then suddenly slapped Leonard. “You missed the little shrimp’s blood!” he said. When Lemorgan slapped Leonard, Juliette had accidentally gripped her broom until it broke, then ran to get another. She didn’t like seeing her boyfriend get slapped. Lemorgan turned around and noticed Lilly. He smirked and walked over to her saying, “Well look who woke up in her new room. It’s the magic hermit crab we’ve spent our life looking for. You know little missy your father killed our old leader, Jonaklen, making me master. That’s his coffin over there. He was my father.” Lemorgan picked up the cage Lilly was in and continued, “You’re our new nurse, maid, cook, and all other stuff for us. Put this on.” He threw in a little shark dress. It was extra extra extra extra extra small for her. All the sharks turned around as she changed. There was a speaker in the dress so the giant sharks could here the tiny her.
“There. Done. You can turn around now.” Nobody turned around. She checked the speaker and repeated herself. All of a sudden the sharks put their left fin on their hips and snapped with their right fin. They jumped around and Lemorgan snapped a hat on, and grabbed a microphone from his back pocket.
“We’re the sharks and you’re our maid. Our nurse, our chef, the one who makes lemonade. You treat us all nicely but we don’t praise. You have to smile all day and sleep in a cage. We rap to you and laugh at you. And you just sit there like dumb, old goo. As matter of fact we think you’re dumb. We don’t care if your claws are numb. WE’RE THE SHARKS!! YEAH!!” Lemorgan sang while dancing. He was joined in at some parts and all the sharks shouted the last two sentences with him. Lilly stood there dumbstruck and the sharks went back to normal. “That’ll be your lullaby every night. Good luck getting much sleep. We don’t need any sleep and so we’ll do it ALL NIGHT! We memorized it ever since, well the loss of my father. Now we’ll put it to use!” Lemorgan said in her face. He opened his mouth again and laughed an evil laugh. Lilly fell asleep again. She went through a few days of doing what told. On the 4th day the sharks were cleaning up from their lullaby when suddenly a loud, booming voice spoke. It was louder than Lemorgan’s voice!
“I have returned for the girl! Trade her for your safety! It’s me JEREMIAH SHAMBLEG!!!” The voice said. Lilly smiled, and the sharks froze. “Have Lemorgan take Lilly to the front of shark caving and give her to me. Also have her change back to normal clothes.”
“Y-y-you heard your father Lilly, change back to normal clothes.” Said Lemorgan. All the sharks turned around and Lilly changed back. When she was done the sharks turned around and Lemorgan carefully got her out of her cage. He swam to the front of the shark caving. “H-h-here all powerful Jeremiah. Your daughter is on the ground of the front of the shark caving, unharmed. I’ll go back now.” Lemorgan said. He frantically swam back to the other sharks sweating like mad. Lilly’s father walked out from behind a boulder with a super megaphone.
“Daddy! You saved me! Now we can go home!!” Lilly cried out, running to her dad. She and her dad hugged a big long hug again. “You won’t believe what they did to me! They made me their maid, cook, and nurse! I worked so hard and didn’t get any sleep! They sang me this stupid song to make it so I wouldn’t sleep! They didn’t stop at all for the whole night!”
“Oh Lilly, I’m so sorry you went through all that! It just took me a while to get this super megaphone, and then to travel all the way back here. I went as fast as possible! We better hurry if we want to get home before dark!” her father said with tons of emotion. They ran and ran and ran and ran and ran and ran. They finally got to their town at 5:00 but they lived at the other side of town. They panted and drank a lot from a water fountain then ran again. Lilly was becoming very tired.
“Aaaaaah!” Lilly said as she tripped on a rock. Lilly sprained her back foot and her dad gave her a piggy back rides most of the way until they came to their street.
“HOME SWEET HOME!!” Lilly’s dad said, carefully putting Lilly down. He ran towards their house and Lilly struggled to keep up. Lilly’s mom was knitting on the front porch crying. “CASSANDRA!!!! IT’S ME!! JEREMY!!!!!!” HER DAD SHOUTED. Lilly’s mom dropped her knitting, smiled, and ran towards her long lost husband. They hugged and kissed, Lilly’s mom welcoming Lilly’s dad. Lilly stopped running, smiled, and every thing went blurry.
“Huh?” Lilly said waking up in her bed. “It w-w-was a dream. Dad is dead! And I must have fainted at the thought of stopping my candy corn addiction.” She started cry and then looked towards her door sobbing.
“No it wasn’t Lilly. You didn’t dream you fainted when you got home. Her dad said smiling. His arm was around Lilly’s mom and they were standing in the doorway!
“Dad you’re alive for real! I wasn’t dreaming! I love you! I love you both!!” Lilly said running and hugging her parents. When she was done she looked around and smiled. “There you are Carz! No more free air bubble time for you naughty fly!”
THE REAL END!!!!!

Guess my lie

For Waveney's Quest class she was suppose to tell the class 2 truths and a lie. Her classmates were to guess what detail was the lie!
(written Sept. 2009)

My name is Waveney and I have had many, many things taken out of my body. I have had my tonsils, adenoids, a kidney, and my appendix taken out. I LOVE to climb trees and do anything that’s the least bit athletic. I swim, play soccer, once did gymnastics, once did an adventure camp, and once even did ballet. I have 4 other people in my family. I have my mom, my dad, my older brother, and my little sister, so I'm obviously the middle child. I love to go to school and enjoy learning every day. My grandma died a few weeks ago and my grandpa fought in World War 2. He was shot in the stomach but the bullet went right through him and he lived for a long time although he is now dead. I think that I’m a very odd and unique, but cool girl and I hope to live a long, good life like my grandpa.

Unfinished true story

Waveney began writing this, when she and I took a special trip out to Utah, ...just the two of us. She wrote this for fun, or maybe for therapy, I don't know. (Written Dec. 2008)

I didn’t want to leave but now have to go
By Waveney – Based on a true story

“Waveney, it’s time to go,” My Mom said softly and quietly but loud enough for me to hear. I looked up from the Go Fish game I was starting with my Dad. The sound of what my Mom had just said to me from across the den of my Great Grandmas old, solitary house was the sound of me leaving the Thanksgiving fun with my Grandparents on my Dads side. My throat got very tight and I tried to hold the sobbing tears inside of me. My face turned red with sadness as I slumped down in the comfy brown sofa next to my Dad. My Mom and Dad thought I was getting nervous about leaving and going on vacation to Utah when I had just thought of everything I would miss. My Mom helped me gather my belongings and carry them to my Grandparents house. While we packed our things we needed on the trip my Dad came through the new glass door in the back of the small country house. I made a checklist of the things we needed on our flight to Utah while we were there and back in my head then said them aloud. My Mom answered the checklist with a soft, “Check,” and we carried the suitcases to the old, fragile and white door. I grabbed my suit case decorated with many different colored polka dots along with a canvas blue backpack and tried to carry my Moms big, rectangle, black and very heavy suitcase. (This in my Dad had ended up carrying it.) I walked to my Dads black, Honda Civic and sadly, and slowly, put my polka dotted suitcase in the fuzzy, black, trunk of the car. My Parents argued a little bit over letting me eat the buttery, one day old popcorn in my Dads car that he loved, and adored. My Mom won the fight and my Dad handed me the delicious popcorn. I ate the popcorn through sobs and my Mom got in the car. “You better turn on some David Archuleta music for this girl,” said my Dad. “Yeah, he’s a calm, pop singer and maybe it will brighten her sad, gloomy, mood,” My Mom continued the discussion loud so I could hear. I smiled a fake, unhappy smile that my Mom could tell was a half-hearted look. My parents continued to talk a teensy, little bit and I eventually got impatient and opened the clean, window, while sticking out my tired hand and started whining, “Mmm, ugh, uuh. Dad! Come here!” My Dad stopped my whining when walking over to me from one side of the Honda Civic to the other and grabbing my hand saying bye and giving me a hug from the small, open window. Right then I was about to start to sob again. “Buh-bye Dad, I’m really gonna miss you. Bye. I love you, bye,” I said while crying very hard, and sad, while my Dad also said bye and said a few things to my Mom who was used to the traveling and saying good-bye. My Dad walked back into the grass so my Mom could pull out of the driveway that was filled with many other cars. When my Mom had drove out of the driveway and turned the way we were heading she turned on my favorite David Archuleta song. She started driving and I forgot that the window next to the soft, fabric seat I was sitting in was closed and hit my hand on the window shouting bye and immediately rushed my hand down to the small, stubby window opener and opened the now tired window while sticking my wet, tear covered hand out the window and shouting as loud as I could “BYE!”.

The story I used to audition for Art School

That was me!
Based on a true story (written Fall 2008)

It was a bright sunny day and I was horsing around with my best friend Trey and one of his friend’s. Trey and I have so many things in common we could be twins! We were at a soccer field while our younger siblings played soccer. I ran at Trey and knocked him to the ground while his friend surprisingly said “Dude you just got towed by a girl!”

Since I always played as rough as a Rhino with Trey I decided to throw Trey to the ground again. I grabbed his arm, spun him around, grabbed his back and threw him to the ground. Almost immediately Trey started yelling and screaming about his wrist. Right then I was confused and wondering, “What’s going on? Did I break his arm?” Although his hand was strait his wrist was twisted almost all the way around. His two bones had snapped and broken.

“Trey is that for real? I’m so sorry Trey!” I quickly asked as I started to cry. I felt horrible! I felt like someone had murdered me though I was the one who had hurt someone else! Trey’s Dad was a doctor so he and other people rushed over to Trey. I started crying even harder while I ran away at my fastest speed. I sat down Indian style. I covered my eyes and started wailing even harder! My Dad came over to me and asked me what was wrong. I told my Dad what I had done. My Dad then asked if I wanted to go see Trey. I felt too bad to go see my best friend in pain so I sadly replied no. I watched a women run across the field with a first aid case. I slowly stopped crying. My soccer team mates came over to me. I told them what was wrong. They were depressed by the loss of a very talented teammate. (Trey was on my soccer team) I watched Trey leave to go to the hospital while crying and screaming, “Don’t cut it off! Please just take away the pain! Oh please!”

I left later that day. I was playing on the computer trying to take my mind off things when my Dad asked me if I wanted to make cookies for Trey. I happily replied yes while thinking if Trey would still like me. My dad handed me the cookie scooper. I wanted to go see Trey so bad I scooped the dough out of the bowl as fast as a baby cheetah could run. After I scooped out all the cookies I ate a little cookie dough when a few minutes after “DING!” the cookies were done. Doing this service made me feel much better. We put the cookies on a white, disposable plate and wrapped it in plastic. My Dad called us and we quickly got in my Mom’s silver Toyota to go to Trey’s 3 story house. Once we got to Trey’s house his brother Josh came outside and exclaimed, “WOW! That’s a huge balloon!” He was looking at the “get well soon” balloon I had bought for Trey at Kroger. After we were invited inside all the parents started talking but the Moms talked the most. Trey’s mom took pictures of all the kids and some of just me and Trey. My mom handed Trey’s mom the cookies and right that second Trey’s other little brother Matt looked at them very hungrily while saying, “Can I have one right now? Please, please? I’m sooo hungry-Especially for cookies!” All of us kids headed down to the basement after the pictures. (When the parents all started talking again.) Trey turned on the TV and started watching cartoons while all the other kids along with me started playing with the big and little bouncy balls Treys family had. A few minutes later Trey started Garfield cartoons and everybody stopped their playing and enjoyed the show. About ten minutes later my Mom told us we had to leave and we left. Trey forgave me very quickly for he and his parent’s knew I didn’t hurt him like that on purpose. This made me feel happy and secure in my friendship with Trey.
I used to chase boys all the time. It was my happy hobby. I ran at the boys so they wouldn’t bug me but after that incident I would just ask them to stop or tell an adult. Trey still hangs around with me and we don’t play tough. I only run or play tag with Trey. His parents are still friends with me and my family. They knew what I did was not to hurt Trey on purpose. Trey is my best friend and he always will be.

The End

My Mommy

My Mommy

My good ‘ole Mommy was working on fine day,
When I come over and said “Hey, hey, hey!
Why don’t you come out and play, play, play!”
She thought and thought and said “Okay!”
And then I commented “Yeah, yeah, yeah!”
We went down the stairs and through the hallway,
Out the door and the rest of the way.
I grabbed the chalk and started to walk.
When we got to the park there was a big fat lock!
I said “Oh no!” and started to cry,
While my Mommy said, “My, my, my!”
Then I looked and wondered “Why oh why?”
Next my Mommy said the park was closed.
Then I started to Explode!
My Mommy quietly calmed me down.
And she finally said, “Let's go somewhere else in town.”
Then I said, “What a great idea!”
After that I said, “Let's go to IKEA”
So we ran and ran as fast as my friend Joe,
And my Mommy said, “Hurry up we’ve got to go!”
When we got there I set down my chalk.
And that’s the end of My good ‘ole walk!

Fall

Fall
It’s finally sunny windy fall
The piles of leaves will grow very tall
Lots of kids will be out to play
Because this is the very first day
Next thing you know the adult has a rake
And the kids will start to shiver and shake
They’ll go inside and have hot cocoa
It feels so warm that, away they blow
Now it’s sadly the end of the day
Kids parents tuck them in and there they stay!

Downtown

Downtown

Every sunny downtown day,
All the kids come out to play.
Soon they come out to jump rope,
With a whole lot of Hope.
Then they start to ride their scooter,
The electric one sure is a tooter.
When they play hopscotch,
Some just walk and talk.
The cars quickly go by,
It seems like they fly.
Downtown is really COOL,
When you see it you will drool.

PLAYING

I like to play
Almost everday.
I like the swings
At last I have wings!
High monkey bars
Takes me to mars.
The slippery slide,
Down it I fastly glide.
On the seesaw I go so high,
I can finally fly!
The rock wall
I slip and I fall
The circle twister
Oops, there goes my sister.
The hanging bar,
I’m a star!

The I am Poem

The I am Poem

By: Waveney Brooks 8-15-08

I am a crazy tomboy
I wonder if boys are scared of me
I hear boys yelling for help
I see boys caught in my hand
I want to crush boys
I am a crazy tomboy.

I pretend the boys I chose are weak
I feel lots of STRENGTH
I touch a boys chasing trophy
I worry that boys will get away
I cry when I get hurt
I am a crazy tomboy.

I understand that I can catch boys
I say I’m gonna get you
I dream of catching boys
I think girls are meant to chase boys
I hope I will catch boys
I am a crazy tomboy.
